How to complete your profile:

So, why should you log in to Handshake?

intuitive and easy to use

Facebook’s little brother, only smarter, cuter, and this one will find you a job. When you log in, the home screen will show you jobs, employers, and events. These are tailored just for YOU based on your major, year, profile, and your career interests.

100% profile completion = 100% more opportunities

Aim for 100% profile completion – including updating your career interests. The more detailed your profile, the more customized your results. When completing your profile, you can choose whether or not to make it public to employers. If you make it public, you can see which employers take a look.

explore the possibilities

If you’re more interested in exploring what’s out there, Handshake can help connect you with career events like Info Sessions with employers from industries you’re interested in exploring, or learn about career paths you haven’t considered. You can also find resume workshops and mock interviews to practice your skills.

help is inside

A little support or guidance can go a long way, especially if you have a burning question or hit a bump in the road. Make an appointment with a Career Educator right in Handshake. It’ll be a relief to know that help is on the way!
